Thanks for the welcome guys.
I did go to the Armory shows and I also went to the shows at Columbia Mall, not sure if those were run by Wayne Miller.
I learned a very important lesson at that first House of Cards on University Blvd. Never let direct sunlight shine on my cards. If you remember they had the store front windows covered from floor to ceiling with cards. By the time they moved across the street, the cards were bleached almost completely white.
